QUIZ RECAP

TriviaSaurus Rex broke hard out of the gate this week at The Famous in Glendale, and held on to the lead from start to finish. In honor of this dominant performance, we offer a few fun facts about their namesake critter:

• Tyrannosaurus Rex Wasn't the Biggest Meat-Eating Dinosaur. At 40 feet from head to tail and seven to nine tons of body mass, you might think the Rex was the biggest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But no, T. Rex was outclassed by not one, but two other dinosaurs - the South American Giganotosaurus, which weighed about nine tons, and the northern African Spinosaurus, which tipped the scales at 10 tons.
• The Arms of Tyrannosaurus Rex Weren't as Tiny as You Thought. Though they were certainly disproportionately tiny compared to the rest of its massive body, T. Rex's arms were well over three feet long.
• The Rex Had Very Bad Breath. It figures, right? I mean, those tiny arms made it impossible for the Rex to brush the shards of rotten, bacteria-infested meat that would constantly lodge in its numerous, closely packed teeth. And very few of them flossed.
• Female Tyrannosaurus Rex Were Bigger than the Males. I mean, come on. It figures, right?

You might reasonably ask: did any members of TriviaSaurus Rex have unusually short arms and notable bad breath? Come on over to The Famous next week and see for yourself! See ya then!

Our faith in humanity - so shaken in today's uncertain and often angry world - was renewed and restored last night by something as simple as a team name.

Among the quizinators at last night's quiz at The Famous on Brand in Glendale was a delightful group of folks we'd never met before. When they turned in their first answer sheet, we took note of their team name: Good Luck Everybody!

Think about that for a moment. I know I did. They chose as their name a simple, hopeful, uplifting message of encouragement to their competitors. We need more of that in the world, doncha think?

Yeah, much more of that, please. See ya next week.

QUIZ RECAP

So here's an interesting turn of events from this week's trivia quiz at The Famous in Glendale: The first place prize was taken by the formidable crew of Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink. Why is that interesting? Well, just take a look at last week's scoreboard, which has BJWLUD all the way down in sixth place. So what changed, you might ask?

Well, last week, BJWLUD drink was comprised of team members Matt, Stephanie, Mike and Doug. But there is a fifth drunkateer by the name of Rory, who wasn't part of last week's effort.

So, what was different this week? Rory was there, and the team finished on top! Was Rory the difference maker? Does correlation equal causation? We wanted to ask Rory, but he was too busy basking in the adoration of his teammates to talk to us!

A special shout-out to Cat for celebrating her birthday with us, and welcome back to The Interns and Yer a Quizard, Harry. We missed you guys while you were off vacationing.

See ya next week!
